The Summerjoy Press logo is from a painting,
"Michael Mandala," that was inspired by Shepherd Hoodwin's
channeling of the Michael entity. Six intersecting circles with a
seventh in the center make a larger circle, a mandala representing
the tables of seven so central to the structure of the Michael
teachings. Six of the roles and overleaves are represented by
three sets of complementary colors to show their cardinality or
ordinality. The seventh, middle circle corresponds to the scholar
role, all the neutral overleaves, and the akashic plane; it has no
complement, but partakes of all the other six circles. The
transparency of the mandala shows the affinity between the
spiritual and the physical, and illustrates that the energies
represented by each circle's color are inherent to
perception.

The artist, Kathleen Fowler Anderson, is a
Michael student living and working in upstate New York. She
painted this four-foot-by-four-foot oil on canvas during the
summer of 1991. It can be viewed at the Bearsville Gallery near
Woodstock, New York. To speak with the artist, call
